Hi, when I came home I found one of my chicks on her back and the other chicks walking over her.

I picked her up and she seems to not be able to control the lower half of legs at all. No motor function at all.

Thinking it may be splay legs I put on a little elastic brace but does not help her stand upright. Without assistance she ends up on her back.

She ate some food mixed with water and nutridrench very well. Drank water.

I’m separating her from the rest in a cat carrier. Any thoughts what is going on or what I can do? I do not have access to poultry vet so it is just me
